bio-blast-xmlparser is a plugin of BioRuby, providing fast BLAST XML result parser by using XMLParser native extension. The code was formerly a part of the BioRuby core ("bio" gem), and because of the dependency to the native XMLParser extension, it was moved to this gem.
This gem is also developed as part of an effort to modularize BioRuby. Many more plugins are available at biogems.info.
